3rd chartered plane arrives for Chinese nationals

THE third Chinese chartered plane landed in the airport of southern Kyrgyz city Osh this afternoon to pick up Chinese nationals.

The plane arrived at the airport at 2:42pm local time to evacuate Chinese nationals living in southern Kyrgyzstan, where at least 170 people have died from violent clashes which began last Thursday.

Early this morning, two Chinese chartered planes carrying 195 Chinese nationals who were evacuated from Kyrgyzstan arrived at an airport in Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said.

The Chinese government dispatched the two Boeing 737-700 passenger planes late yesterday to bring back Chinese nationals living in southern Kyrgyzstan.
